how to catch a fish

[john90009]

i have read about a 2 littre pepsi bottle that is used to catch a fish however i have to catch a blue tang which keeps biting my corals, anyone have any ideas as to a trap or somthing?

I'd just use a net or plastic specimen container. Tangs are quick, but shouldn't pose much of a problem for someone with patience. I also don't think I have heard of any tang nipping at corals. You have seen it nipping at them?

yes the blue tang likes to nip at the meat thinking its food and nipping every head for the fun of it because i fead the tank 4 times a day

Here is a pretty good idea if you're interested.

I had a Tang who just love to chew on my corals and liked my linetus wrasses enough to kill him, the thought crossed my mind about going fishing, I had to demo my tank to get him out! Next time I am using your idea! I'm getting out the old fishing pole!

I just used the 2 liter bottle to catch my problem fish, it was a large, quick damsel. I took a few tries, but finally got him. I think I caught most of the other fish a few times first, especially my bird wrasse, he's not a very bright fish, on the other hand he was the only one getting fed and he probably figured if I let him out the first time, I probably would everytime. Pretty smart fish actually! Good luck.
